'Sports Jeopardy!' to air on NBCSN following network's
nightly Rio Olympics coverage

New episodes of sports quiz show debut on Crackle every
Wednesday night

NBC Sports Group and Crackle will
present "Sports Jeopardy!" on NBCSN following the network's nightly coverage of
the Rio Olympics. NBCSN has acquired the exclusive television rights to the
series hosted by Emmy Award-winning sportscaster Dan Patrick, and which airs
originally on Crackle. The 30-minute sports quiz show will premiere on NBCSN on
Saturday, Aug. 6 (midnight ET), and will then air nightly for two consecutive
weeks until the conclusion of the Games.

Following a brief hiatus, "Sports
Jeopardy!" will return in the fall to air weekly on NBCSN immediately following
the network's coverage of "NHL Wednesday Night Rivalry." NBC Sports
commentators and highlights of NBC Sports Group's live events will be
incorporated into the show.

"We're excited to work with
Crackle to bring 'Sports Jeopardy!' to NBCSN's television audience of more than
82 million homes," said Jon Miller, president of programming, NBC Sports and
NBCSN. "Dan Patrick, Sony Pictures Television and the team at Crackle have
created a great show that we know our viewers will enjoy."

"For us - the special few who ignored the
so-called important news growing up and spent our days reading box scores,
watching random sports and getting Cs in our classes - we finally have a show,"
Patrick said. "If you know, off the top of your head, Joaquin Andujar's career
ERA or Warren Moon's CFL stats, this is the show for you."

The multiyear agreement between
NBC Sports Group and Crackle will include more than 100 episodes of "Sports
Jeopardy!" produced by Crackle. NBC Sports Live Extra, NBC Sports Group's live
streaming product, will also stream episodes that are televised on NBCSN.

Seasons one and two of "Sports
Jeopardy!" are currently streaming on Crackle. New episodes premiere every
Wednesday.
